Here's the schedule for our April discovery read winner, The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, which was nominated by u/isar-love and seconded by u/archwrites (and me!). I'm excited to have another Ishiguro read, since I enjoyed our discussions of The Buried Giant and Klara and the Sun.

Ivory & Merchant adapted The Remains of the Day to a well-reviewed movie (spoilers) by the same name. It stars Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson and was nominated for several Academy Awards, including best picture. For those who are interested, we'll have a discussion of the movie after we wrap up the book.

The book is relatively short at 245 pages (Vintage International trade paperback version), so I've split it into three discussions plus the bonus movie discussion:

• April 24 - Prologue to Salisbury at "Jolly grateful to you, Stevens. Let me know how you get on." ~Page 83.
• May 1 - Salisbury at "I was, as you might imagine, a little taken aback by this request..." to Moscombe, Near Tavistock, Devon at "Such as, for instance, the matter of Miss Kenton's days off." ~Page 169.
• May 8 - Moscombe, Near Tavistock, Devon at "From the time she first arrived at Darlington Hall..." to end.
• May 15 - Book vs. movie discussion.
